Pull request overview
Updates the UAS client authentication approach to rely on cookie-based auth rather than sending an Authorization bearer token header.
Changes:
- Removes reading
ckns_atknfromjs-cookieand stops constructingAuthorization/X-Authentication-Providerheaders. - Keeps
X-API-Keyheader generation and tightens the missing-config error to only cover the API key.
